Exploring the gaits for debris removal and excavation with Klann-legged robots[ ]


Constant effort is being dedicated in building robots that can supplant laborious work performed by humans with automated mechanisms. In this regard a large number of researches have been dedicated to emulate gaits of legged animals. Debris removal and excavation are activities of human interest that can be achieved with gaits of animals. The Klann-mechanism based legged robots can act not only as robots that can access difficult terrains but also as robots that can remove debris and act for excavation purposes. In this work we have explored the various trajectories of the end-effector of the Klann mechanism that can be suitable for this purpose.

Effect of Taurine on hematological disturbance towards carbon tetrachloride hepatotoxicity in mice[ ]


Background: Hepatic damage caused by chemicals is associated with distortion of the metabolic functions and may lead to progressive liver fibrosis, ultimately cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. This study was carried out using Taurine (TAU), and was applied on 60 swiss male adult albino mice. The results revealed that TAU was efficient against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) hepatotoxicity in the studied groups. It could ameliorate hematological changes caused by CCl4 toxicity by decreasing white blood cells and increasing platelets, red blood cells, Hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit values. Conclusion: TAU could ameliorate hematological disturbance caused by CCl4 toxicity.

Assessment on the physico-chemical parameters and biodiversity of copepods and rotifers in Muthannan pond wetland, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India[ ]


The interdependence between man and wetlands is ancient, with the earliest of civilizations originating in close proximity of wetland habitats. Wetlands, providing very important ecosystem services that benefit humankind, are also called as the kidneys of a landscape. Wetlands, the most fertile ecosystems, are becoming most threatened nowadays . The continuous abuse of the wetland resources has lead to extinction of several valuable nutrient , organisms in different trophic level of the ecosystem, as well as pollution of various kinds. Wetlands contribute significantly to the biodiversity and being among the most productive life-support systems, they have immense social, economic and ecological importance to humankind.

A Modest Proposal: Divide and Deter For preventing the influx of refugees into Germany[ ]


It is very unfortunate for the millions of citizens who have devoted themselves to ensuring the unity and integrity of Europe. The United Kingdom is in the final stage of annulment from the Union, while Austria and Hungary are giving direct indications that they are under no obligation to stand by the EU during this time of crisis. Italy has refused to let migrants in through its coastal borders, while Greece has effectively annexed all its islands between Turkey and the mainland. Now pressure from Mr. Horst Seehofer, Leader of the Christian Social Union (CSU) and other political opponents has Angela-Merkel on the run. It is a matter of deep concern to the nation. Displaced migrants - they come, they spread and they settle.

Neurological manifestations in tuberculosis[ ]


Central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially life threatening condition which is curable if the correct diagnosis is made in the early stages. Its clinical and radiologic manifestations may mimic other infectious and noninfectious neurological conditions. Hence, familiarity with the imaging presentations of various forms of CNS tuberculosis is essential in timely diagnosis, and thereby reducing the morbidity and mortality of this disease. Early diagnosis of CNS TB is necessary for appropriate treatment and subsequently decreases the morbidity and mortality associated with the disease.

Rectangular Fin Thermal Performance as a Function of Modified Biot Number and Area Ratio; Novel Approach[ ]


A novel analytical study of 1-D, heat conduction equation in a longitudinal fin of a uniform thickness is presented. A new perspective in fin modeling have demonstrated that three thermal performance indicators; efficiency, effectiveness and performance ratio can be presented only in terms of two dimensionless groups; modified Biot number(hL/k) and fin area ratio (A/Ac). A suggested fin design charts are presented in terms of the three thermal performance indicators. Optimum fin design charts been presented as a function of only modified Biot number and area ratio. Results showed that such design charts are more practical and form an alternative route to interpret fin thermal behavior and performance.

A Multidomain Characterization of an Acoustic Signal and an Approach towards a Generic Noise Reduction Algorithm[ ]


During mobile communication, a speech signal contains information from varieties of sources: speaker, environment sound and transmission channel. Due to effect of background noise otherwise referred to as environmental sounds such as dog barking, siren, car horn, restaurant babble noise, gun-shot, street music, white noise e.t.c, leads to the degradation of speech quality. In order to discriminate between different kind of signals (speech, music and environmental sounds),for an efficient speech enhancement algorithm, pre-processing of such signal is required by having a apriori characteristic of such signals based on their distribution of their energy content over time, frequency and time-frequency domain and also, having the range of noise level encountered in real life scenario.
